- BASE-BURNING- FIRE-PLACE HEATER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ofthe same To all whom it mag concern v Be it'known that we, BENTLEY 0. 131133 and PHI-L- 1P KLOTZ, of Baltimore, in the county of Baltimore, and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements on Fire-Place Heaters; and we do hereby declare that the following'is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying 'drawings,'making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improved fireplace heater. v I

Figure Zis a section through the heater, taken in the vertical plane indicated by line 2 z in fig. 4. Figure 3 is a section through the heater, takenin the vertical plane iridicated'by line m min fig. 2.,

Figure 4 is a section taken through the beaten in.

the horizontal plane indicated by line '3] y, in fig. 2.

Similarlettcrs of reference indicate corresponding parts inathe several figures. I This invention relates to certain novelimprovements on tire-place fuel magazine heaters; and

Iteonsists- First, in so constructing such a heater, that when the direct draught is closed, the products of combus-v tion' rising from the fire-chamber, beneath the fuelmagazine, shall circulate in an enlarged heat-radiating chamber, formed by a portion of the wall of the illumi nated section, and then dive down into and circulate through the hollow basesection, thence rise. and circulate through the tines, which are arranged above the said illuminated section,thereby causing the lower portion of the heater to receive the products of combustion, while they are in the most highly-heated state, as will be hereinafter explained.

Secondly, in partly enclosing the tire-wall of the fire-chamber, by a chamber, within which the products of combustion are allowed freedom to pass off laterally as they rise from 'said fire-chamber, and from which the products can be caused either to descend into the base of the heater, on their way'to the upper flues,'or. to rise and pass directly into 'the escape-fluc, as will be hereinafter explained.

'lhirdly, in partially dividing the flue-space in the upper section of the heater, bya vertical deflectingplat-e, arranged so as to direct the products toward the front of this section, between it andthe fuel-magazine, on their way to the escape-flue, as will be hereinafter explained.

Fourthly, in an air-heating box, having a deflector in it,arranged at the back of the upper sectionof the heater, and adapted for more effectually warming air,

to be conducted into upper apartments, as'wi-ll be hereinafter explained. V

Fifthly, of a fender-base plate, in combination with a fender-rail, composed of fixed portions, and an .iiitermediate portion or portions, permanently connected to, but movable on the stationary-portion or portions, substantially as described hereafter, so that the ashthe fender fromits place.

operation.

section, an intermediate section,- andato'p section.

The base-section A is hollow, and encloses a fluespace,-through which the product-sotcombustion pass y when the damper e is shut, as shown in fig. 2. In this sect-ion, and centrally. arranged, is the ash-box b, wl1ich the usual well-known manner.

The intermediate section consists ot twoehambers E E, formed by a wall, which extends from the front wall B entirely around the fire-chamberh and'which 3 is vertically divided by a'partition,p, to form the small flue-chamber E, on one side of the tire-chamber.

The wall enclosing chambers E E is a continuationof, and may be cast or otherwise made to form'p'art oi" the said front wall B. This front wall B ma y be made 7 sage. t-,. shown in 'fig. 2. i a

The top section of the heater consists pf a cylinder, 0, rising from the top plate M ofthe intermediate sec tion, and closed on top by a cap, 1). This, section 0 encloses the main portion. of the fuel-magazine F, which is closed on top, andtextendeddown through the plate M, into the fire-pot or chamber R, below the upper edge of the back \vall'H.. This fuel-magazine is snpported upon or by the plate M, and has a fluespace, s, between it and the cylinder 0, which space is closed at bottom by said plate.

The s ays communicates with short columns E E whic 'rise from. plate M, by means of horizontal fines E E, and the column E communicates with the This latter column E terminates, at its upper end, in an escape-pipe, 0, leading into the chimney-..

On one side of th-ecentre of the flue-space s, a partition-plate, p', extends from front to rear, across the top and down the back ,of the fuel-magazine, leaving a trout passage beneath it, and between the magazine and cylinder 0, for'the products of combustion .to pass pan can be removedwithont-thc necessity of removing To enable others skilled in the art to understand our invention, we'will describe its construction'and.

I We shall describe our improved fire-place, heater as consisting ofv three principal sections, to wit, a base-.

is separated from the flue-space by a division-plate, in

ber E communicates with said fine-space through paschamber E", whilecolumn E? communicates with chamher E, when-the damper c in this columni's 'open.-

at i 'i, and its bottom is open at n. pipe, N, rises, which may be carried up through the from fine E to flue E, and directing the products against the front part of cylinder 0.

The partition-plate p alsoforms one side of a chute orpassage, r, leading through the top plate D, and through the crown of the fuelmagazine, for supplying this magazine with fuel. It is beneath this chute that the front passage, above referred to, is made for the products of combustion.

In rear of the cylinder 0, a chest or box, N, is applied, having a deflecting-plate arranged horizontally in it, and extended from the back of this box nearly to the cylinder 0. The sides of the box N- are open From its top, a

chimney into apartments above that in which the heater is arranged. I

'lhe fender, which is designed for use with our fireplace heaters, is portable or removable, and consists of stationary guard-rails L L, which are madetubular,

and mounted upon short standards I l, and also of movable guard-rails L L, which slide in said tubular rails L L, and are supported by short standards I Z, which move with them. The standards of the fixed and movablerails rise perpendicularly from a base, M,

which is adapted to fit; snugly against the front of the hollow base A. At the middle of the space, between the ends of fixed rails L L, is a stop, 0, for preventing the movable rails being drawn out of their tubular supports.

The distance between the ends of the twostat'ionary rails, should be such that when the two rails L L are moved aside, by sliding them into these stationary rails, there will be space left for the removal of the ash-pan from the ash box.

The operation of our improved heating-stove is as follows:

When fire is first made in the chamber or fire-pot R, the damper e is opened, and the products pass directly off, through chamber E and flue-column E into the escape-pipe c. When the damper e ,is shut, as

" shown in fig. 2, the products then rise and fill the enlarged chamber E, from the wall of which avery large amount of heat is radiated. From this chamber E the products descend, through 1., into the hollow base-section I), from which a large amount of heat is also radiated. Leaving chamber A, the products'rise through the fine-chamber E, through the tines E E, andpass into the space s, on one side of the partition 1) thence theypass around thefrontpart of the section or cylinder G into the space s, on the opposite side of this partition 1); thence, throughflues E Ei, into and off through the pipe 0.

The 'cold air enters the box N at n, strikes plate P,

I is deflected forward 'so as to impinge upon the cylinder 0, is warmed, and.conductedfthrough pipe N, into upper apartments. A; portion of the air which is warmed inbox N may be conducted out into the room, by leaving the side openings z i.

upper flues or pipes, and this we are enabled to accomplish without changing the general style or appearance of this class of fire-place heaters.

We make no claim, under this'petition, to the vertical feed-passage leading through the top of the cylindcr-0 and fuel-magazine F, as the feed-passage may be made horizontally through the sides of said cylinder and magazine, although We prefer the former plan of feeding, and have made it the subject of an application for a patent, marked Case A.

\Ve do not desire to claim broadly a fender-base plate, with a movable fender, or movable fender-rail, nor do we desire to limit ourselves to the two movable pieces L L, as one connected but movable piece only may be used.

Ve claim-- .1. A fire-place heater, which is constructed with an intermediate radiating-section, tbrming a descendingdraught chamber, E, tire-chamber R, and ascendingdraught chamber or due E substantially as described.

' 2. The walls surrounding the fire-chamber It, formed of a front illuurinating-wall, B, and a rear wall, H, in combination with a chamber, E, a-hollow base-section, A, and a direct-draught flue, E, arranged to operate substantially as described. r

3. The chamber s, formed between the upper portion of the magazine F and the cylinder 0, and communicating with thc chamber E, through passages A E E E substantially as'describcd.

4. The combination of chambers E E with the hollow base-section A, and a chamber or space, 8, sub-,
